![]() ![]() That means you don't need to worry about it overpowering the rest of your decor. It's a cool nod to the franchise that's surprisingly classy thanks to a neat little stand, and it doesn't take up loads of space on the shelf either. There are plenty of helmets within Lego's new display range, but few can compare to Darth Vader's imposing noggin'. When combined with a swappable radar dish, that means this kit can represent either time-period. Along with original trilogy heroes like Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, and C-3PO, sequel-era characters such as Rey, Finn, and an older Han are also included. Speaking of minifigs, you're getting a grand total of 11 here. Along with a realistic exterior that captures the ship's cobbled-together feel, it opens up to reveal a main hold with seating and a replica of the Dejarik holographic game, the gunner's station, and that iconic cockpit which can fit four minifigs. ![]() There's a real sense of achievement at the end of it all, and the clever engineering behind it helps the UCS Millennium Falcon shine from start to finish.ĭesign: Having more than 7,500 bricks under its belt afford this kit an absurd level of detail (it's actually a contender for biggest overall Lego set), and that puts it head and shoulders above every other model in the range. However, it's a gratifying process despite being so overwhelming. Indeed, the project will take you at least 30 hours and demands a lot of space. Thanks to being made up of 40+ bags, this is the definition of a long haul. What it's like to build: Even though it's a magnificent model, be warned - this isn't a project for the faint of heart. However, the Ultimate Collector Millennium Falcon also happens to be one of the best Lego Star Wars sets bar none. Let's address the bantha in the room for a second - this kit is wince-inducingly expensive. Much more expensive than the standard version When combined with clever recycling of old pieces to create the Mandalorian's unique armor, this becomes an essential purchase. They're also sturdier than other Lego characters with the exception of Mando's blasters, all those pieces will stay put thanks to a blocky design that doesn't have any flimsy bits. Plus, there's a booklet for each character - perfect if you're splitting the project between two people.ĭesign: Much like Funko Pops, these figures are cute little desk-buddies with a lot of personality. Although the instructions aren't always as clear as they could be, it's not hard to stay on target when putting together the Mandalorian or Grogu. And for the most part, that process is a painless one. Because they fall ever so slightly short of 300 pieces, you can complete both figures from start to finish in an hour or two. What it's like to build: Anyone intimidated by bigger kits will be much more comfortable with this Mando set. The instructions could be clearer, but even younger builders can get by with a little help. At 295 pieces and coming in just below $20 / £20, it strikes a great balance between complexity and cost. If you're on the lookout for cheap Lego Star Wars sets, want easy Star Wars gifts, or are in the market for a last-minute stocking-stuffer, this BrickHeadz kit is the perfect option. Indeed, it's worthy of taking pride of place on any shelf. But for the price, this Star Wars Lego set excels. Sure, it's not to scale and won't drop jaws like its Ultimate equivalent.

Pop the lid and you'll be greeted by individual rooms, smuggling compartments, and a cockpit that can seat two minifigs. And you'll be happy to spend that time building the Millennium Falcon is an ideal fit for the Lego treatment thanks to its hodge-podge look, and there's something rather satisfying about putting its panels into place one by one.ĭesign: Crewed by a rather dashing middle-aged Lando alongside Finn, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2, D-O, and Resistance informant Boolio, this take on the galaxy's most beloved hunk o' junk is crammed with details. What it's like to build: While it's not as much of a commitment as the enormous UCS version, it'll still take a fair few hours to construct this starship. ![]()
